docker-symfony

This is a complete stack for running Symfony 4 (latest version: Flex) into Docker containers using docker-compose tool.

Installation

First, clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/rkosinski/docker-symfony.git

Next, put your Symfony application into main directory and do not forget to add symfony.localhost in your /etc/hosts file.

Make sure you adjust database_host in parameters.yml to the database container alias "db"

Then, set installation file as executable:

$ chmod a+xr install.sh

And then run it:

$ ./install.sh your-project-name

Remember : to add symfony.localhost to hosts file in your system.

You are done, you can visit your Symfony application on the following URL: http://symfony.localhost:88

Important : after all you can remove install.sh file.

Note : you can rebuild all Docker images by running:

$ docker-compose build

How it works?

Here are the docker-compose built images:

• db: This is the MySQL database container (can be changed to postgresql or whatever in docker-compose.yml file),
• php: This is the PHP-FPM container including the application volume mounted on,
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container in which php volumes are mounted too,

This results in the following running containers:

> $ docker-compose ps
        Name                       Command               State              Ports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dockersymfony_db_1      docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld      Up      0.0.0.0:3308->3306/tcp
dockersymfony_nginx_1   nginx                            Up      443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:88->80/tcp
dockersymfony_php_1     php-fpm7 -F                      Up      0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp

Read logs

You can access Nginx and Symfony application logs in the following directories on your host machine:

• docker/logs/nginx
• docker/logs/symfony

Use xdebug!

To use xdebug change the line "docker.host:127.0.0.1" in docker-compose.yml and replace 127.0.0.1 with your machine ip address. If your IDE default port is not set to 5902 you should do that, too.

You can check your host machine address by typing ip addr show in unix terminal.

Execute commands

You can enter container (and perform some actions) by running docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 /bin/bash in unix terminal command.
